Gonorrhea On The Rise Due To Covid-19, says WHO
The agency says the disease is spreading due to actual antibiotic overuse for those infected with the novel coronavirus.
The agency also states the sexually transmitted infection (STI) may become even more resistant to the recommended treatments like azithromycin, which typically is used for chest and sinus infections. Azithromycin has seen an increase in usage during the pandemic.
The new strain does not respond to the normal first-line treatments, making it even more dangerous and uncomfortable for those infected, according to the report.
Doctors and medical experts have long warned of the possibility that superbugs that are antibiotic-resistant could become more commonplace, and this is one example of such a thing happening.
The Agency also explained that the new strain is exploding because most people aren’t going to the hospital unless they come down with COVID-19 symptoms. Instead, they’re self-medicating, a WHO spokesperson told said adding that the super gonorrhea is extremely resistant to antibiotics.
The centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) said cases of gonorrhea, which is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae, have increased 63 per cent since 2014.
The US agency has also warned that this could facilitate the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), not only this, it can also cause eye infections.
